STUDY: Living on Embarrassingly-Named Streets Can Save UK Homebuyers Thousands

What’s in a name?

Well, when it comes to buying a home on British streets with names like Crotch Crescent, Cock A-Dobby and Cumming Street, the answer is roughly 84,000 pounds ($140,000).

According to a study by NeedaProperty.com., which spent two months researching the impact of giggle-worthy street names on house prices, embracing (or at least enduring) the idea of living on a questionably-named avenue can save homebuyers a hefty sum of money. Researchers asked 2,000 people to vote for the streets they would be most ashamed to call home, and the top 15 were used for the study.
